      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hi everybody!<br />
<br />
I&#039;d like to let this great group know that there is a shared session on May 17th 2023 with 25 strings (Kiev Virtuosi) <b>in the same iconic studio and room where Ennio Morricone made &#039;Nuovo Cinema Paradiso&#039; and Nino Rota &#039;The Godfather&#039;</b>.<br />
<br />
Everything started when I was working as an orchestrator with long-time friend and great composer Dario Vero on an animated feature film. We knew very well the Prague/Budapest options, but we wanted to try something new and different:...<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hey you guys,<br />
<br />
I stumbled upon this contest, where you can submit a piece and if you win, your piece will be recorded by a real orchestra. It&#039;s kinda a huge thing for me since I never had any live musicians play anything of me.<br />
<br />
The requirements are that you haven&#039;t gotten your music played by an orchestra, maximum 3 minutes and that your piece is for a 34 piece Orchestra (all the details can be found on the page of course)....<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I was contacted by a producer. They want to use my song in their film and they want to do it for free, giving me only the credits (on-screen and IMDB).  Is that normal for a composer like me who never did a film so far?<br />
<br />
I was thinking about asking 300 $ at least for the Non-Exclusive sync license. Is it too much considering I’m not famous and I haven’t any credits on IMDB?<br />
<br />
They said that if it’s a non-exclusive license they want it for free. And give me only the credits. The thing is they...<br />

<br />
Over the past three years, I have been really fortunate to be basically swamped with work continuously. <br />
<br />
Prior to my break into film music orchestration I maintained a private studio next to Carnegie Hall teaching composition. <br />
I often had between 10-15 students per week.  During that time period I worked with many wonderful people. <br />
 Some projects I advised on include<br />
